The argument is that getting a distributed processing paradigm to
scale up to more capable processing elements is something that is
likely to face fewer binding constraints than either getting a
distributed processing paradigm to scale down or getting a programming
model for a few processors to scale up.

If you had a 5x8 grid of Seaforth chips and were successfully
programming for 1,000 distinct processing elements as limited in
capability as the Seaforth elements, there is every reason to believe
that the programming model would scale up to massively superparallel
with fewer hick-ups than a programming model developed for one through
four processing elements.
